Psalms 109:14

“Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord, etc.] Not of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; who, though they had their failings, they were not remembered, and much less punished in their posterity, but were forgiven: rather of the Amorites and Hittites; the one being said to be the father, and the other the mother, of the Jews, (<261603>Ezekiel 16:3), they succeeding them in their land, and imitating their example, and committing the same sins they did: or rather of their wicked ancestors, who killed the prophets; and the measure of whose sins Judas and the Jews filled up in crucifying Christ, (see <402331>Matthew 23:31,32).

“109:14 Children inherit the sinful nature of their parents (51:5; Exod 20:5; Eph 2:3). The speaker wants the Lord to punish the perpetrator for the guilt of family members who went before him (cp. Matt 23:35-36).”

“Let the: Exo 20:5; Lev 26:39; Sa2 3:29, Sa2 21:1, Sa2 21:8, Sa2 21:9; Mat 23:31-36 let not: Kg2 8:27, Kg2 9:27, Kg2 10:13, Kg2 10:14, Kg2 11:1; Ch2 22:3, Ch2 22:4 blotted: Neh 4:5; Isa 43:25; Jer 18:23 Psalms 109:15”
